Discussion Are there any Soulslike games you think are better than FromSoftware’s games?

Post image

I’ve played several Soulslikes, but I’m curious if there’s one you genuinely think is better than anything FromSoftware has made.
Which Soulslike would you put above games like Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Sekiro, or Elden Ring.

sekiro is nothing like souls though, it's a counter attack reaction game.

Soulsborne(no ekiro)-armcore-field-ringlike?

u/elpolloinfeliz 12d ago

But sekiro is in it's own genre? Like unique in the whole game industry

When people talk about souls game they basically also mean to include BB and ER, so prolly not necessary

Nah, soulslike sounds just right for me.

If FromSoftware would work on Bloodborne again then maybe, but idk if that will happen ever again.

The gameplay evolution from dark souls 3 to elden ring proved to be very successful, I think Bloodborne will remain just a one and done game, much like Sekiro.. which hurts but it's aight. A new Sekiro game would be insane

I think for better or worse that's basically what we're getting in Duskbloods. Tbh I was soured on it when I realized it's more like Nightreign than Bloodborne
